Consider a trapezoid GJKF with:
GH=JH (hypothesis)
FL=KL (hypothesis)
so HL is the median of trapezoid GJKF
so: HL=1/2(2.5+1.2)=1.85
Answer:
B. -5
Step-by-step explanation:
this is quite simple, so what you are going to want to do is multiply -3 by 4, and -16, so distribute that and you'll end up with
-12x+48= -12
then you want to subtract 48 from both side to leave the x on one side alone
that will be -12x= -60
after that you have to divide both sides by -12 to find your x
so then you will see that your x is = -5! hope this helps!!
Answer:
Overall vertical is visually better, if done correctly
it forces you to "line up" all the common exponents.
The disadvantage is that it usually requires re-writing the problem, and it takes up space.
most problems are presented horizontally, that becomes the issue to locate the common exponents.
in both cases the biggest issue is people forget
that when subtracting "subtracting a negative is like adding a positive"
-5x - (-8x) = 3x [that is a positive 3x]
or:
-7x
- - 10x
-------------
3x
everyone misses those eventually so you have to watch out for that in both methods
Step-by-step explanation:
So you first need to calculate 8y 2 which is basically 8x2 which equals 16 then add 16y + 17y which is 33 so your answer is 33y+2
